Singapore — A trailer truck was spotted toppled over at a roundabout along Bedok Reservoir View on Monday , sparking comments from concerned individuals that the area needs to be improved for road users., “The driver was trying to manoeuvre slowly around the roundabout but failed. One of the back wheels went up the curb, causing the trailer to lean towards the left and toppled over.

“Few seconds prior, a motorcyclist actually overtook the trailer from the left. Luckily he went off before the trailer topped over.” Given that Bedok Reservoir View is a short two-lane street, the only way for the trailer was to u-turn through the roundabout, which is not ideal for such situations.Netizens also said, “it’s about time” to review the area and create a second entry or exit point for the estate.

Perhaps open another entrance and exit near Blk 761 perpendicular to Bedok North Ave 3 in case of any major disruption like what happened today. The entire road was completely paralysed, and all vehicles came to a complete halt.
